" Application filed February 13. 1909. Serial No. 477.669.

To all whom "it may concern: l

Be it known that- I, V i LLIAM G. Cori-IN, a

citizen of the United States, residing at leabody, in the county ofEssex and State of Massachusetts, have invented 'certain new and usefulImprovements mGlaz1ers Puttyllanes; and I do hereby declarethe followingto be a full, clear, and exact description "of the invention, such aswill enable others 10 skilled in the art to whichmake and use the same.

1he present invention relates to glaziers tools. i y Y The object oftheinvention is to produce a combination tool which will take the-placeof the chisel ordinarily used for removing old putty and the putty knifefor applying new putty. In addition to this the tool may be used todrive glaziers points into a window sash.

\Vith the above object it appertains to hereinafter described andclaimed, the advantages of which will be obvious to those in view the invenllOll consists in the improved glaz|e1"s-tool= upon without reversingthe tool.-

ot' the sash cau. be eonveniently operated As has been stated'thelateral sides of th body of the tool in'cline inwardly from the bottomof the body toward the top. From this construction it results that thelateral surfaces of the body of the tool and also the knife edges standatsomething less thana right ,angle with relation to 'thebottom surface3. The tool can therefore be rea ily used to remove the old putty fromthe sides and corners of a sash without danger of ine juring the woodwork. By moving the t 01 along the sash with the flat bottom face 3against the glass, the greater. portion of the old putty will be removedwithout bringin the knife edges in contact'with the woo work. Any puttyremaining can then' be readily removed by going over the sash.-

2 side faces of the body are used in the same manner as an ordinaryputty-knife.

skilled in the art from the following deseription.

'lhe inyention willbe clearly understoml from an inspection of the:u-cmnpanying drawing in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of thetool and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

As illustrated in the drawing the tool emnprises a body 1 which isprovided with sharp knife or chisel edges 2 ateaeh end and i with a Hatface or bottom 3 said-edges 2 being in a plane at right. angles to theplane of the bottom 3. The body 1 is substantu lly diamond shaped havingits side faces inclined to one another to form a gradual taper. Saidsides are also inclined inwardly from the bottom-3 of the body towardthe top- 4. Projecting from the top 4 of the body bat. an angle theretois a stemhandle 6 is secured to the outerend of said stem and the stemand handle are inclined at such an angle to the body 1 that theoperators hand will not come in contact with a window sash when the toolis being manipulated.

In use when removing the old putty from ,a window the tool is laced withthe flat face 3 of the bod against the glass and is moved in eitherirectionto cause either of the edges 2 to remove the putty. By'havingthe body sharpened at both ends the corners In using the tool fordriving glaziers points said points may be forced into a window sash byemploying the tool as a. hammer- The invention ha ring been thusdescribed, what is claimed is:'

l. A glaziefs tool comprising a body portion having a flat bottom and aknife. edge at its end in a plane substantially at right angles to theplane at the. bottom, and a handle projecting at an angle'from the topof said body. A

, .t glazier's tool comprising a body portion having a flat bottom andprovided at each end with a knife edge in a plane substantially at rightangles to the plane of the bottom and a handle projecting at an anglefrom the top of said body.

3. A glaziers tool comprising a substantially diamond shaped bodyportionhaving a Hat bottom and sitles inclined inwardly from the bottomto the top of the body. and a handle projecting at an angle from the toof said body.

in testimony whereofl'afiix my signature, in' presence of two witnesses.
